 Child friendly phrases- ‘COPS’ ‘Digging deeper’
 Observation of the Learning Zone and Mahora
ACTION- What have we done?

5.  Two lower groups very challenging- use of Jo
 Is this just streaming?
 Are we covering the writing matrix? Introduction of
Kid Speak Matrix has helped with this
 Timing- does it matter if one group doesn’t do much
physical writing on a particular day?
 Time wasting- moving between rooms etc
Challenges along the way….

6.  Increased motivation
